I have today found a bookkeeper who can enter all our paperwork into QuickBooks, this is a huge step forward as I was begining to wonder where I would find the time to enter all the data, produce accounts and file our first US tax return.....all very new and daunting!

The weather remains wet and foul and keeping the alpacas clean and dry is a time consuming job. I will be ready and willing to swap it for irrigation duties when the spring comes.

Our plan to farm bees and produce honey has taken a step closer to reality. The 6 hives are now complete and ready to be installed. The next stage is to create a solid base for them to stand on.

Dadant have been wonderful in helping us get started. Dadant and Sons, Inc. is a family owned business that has served the Beekeeping industry for over 140 years. In fact they must surely be one of the oldest trading family businesses in the USA.

If you are interested in getting into beekeeping (Apiary) then this is the place to look, ask questions and shop.
